Abstract

This paper compares the performance of adaptive trackers based on multiple algorithms. The aim of using multiple algorithms is to increase the robustness of the trackers under varying conditions. We perform two estimation algorithms UKF and IMM to measure the performance of tracking on outdoor scenes with occlusions. The purpose of this paper is to measure and evaluate tracker reliability for be able to determine the position of a target. The performance is evaluated using metrics related to truth track. We give a positional evaluation and statistics values of the performance of visual tracking systems, which adapt to changing environments.
